Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo koonoo qawwameena bialqisti shuhadaa lillahi walaw AAala anfusikum awi alwalidayni waal-aqrabeena in yakun ghaniyyan aw faqeeran faAllahu awla bihima fala tattabiAAoo alhawa an taAAdiloo wa-in talwoo aw tuAAridoo fa-inna Allaha kana bima taAAmaloona khabeeran\n135. O ye who believe!\n Stand out firmly\n For justice, as witnesses\n To God, even as against\n Yourselves, or your parents,\n Or your kin, and whether\n It be (against) rich or poor:\n For God can best protect both.\n Follow not the lusts\n (Of your hearts), lest ye\n Swerve, and if ye\n Distort (justice) or decline\n To do justice, verily\n God is well-acquainted\n With all that ye do.\n136. Ya ayyuha allatheena amanoo aminoo biAllahi warasoolihi waalkitabi allathee nazzala AAala rasoolihi waalkitabi allathee anzala min qablu waman yakfur biAllahi wamala-ikatihi wakutubihi warusulihi waalyawmi al-akhiri faqad dalla dalalan baAAeedan\n136. O ye who believe!\n Believe in God\n And His Apostle,\n And the scripture which He\n Hath sent to His Apostle\n And the scripture which He sent\n To those before (him)\n Any who denieth God,\n His angels, His Books,\n His Apostles, and the Day\n Of Judgment, hath gone\n Far, far astray.\n137. Inna allatheena amanoo thumma kafaroo thumma amanoo thumma kafaroo thumma izdadoo kufran lam yakuni Allahu liyaghfira lahum wala liyahdiyahum sabeelan\n137. Those who believe,\n Then reject Faith,\n Then believe (again)\n And (again) reject Faith,\n And go on increasing\n In Unbelief,\u2014God\n Will not forgive them\n Nor guide them on the Way.\n138. Bashshiri almunafiqeena bi-anna lahum AAathaban aleeman\n138. To the Hypocrites give\n The glad tidings that\n There is for them\n (But) a grievous Penalty;\u2014\n139. Allatheena yattakhithoona alkafireena awliyaa min dooni almu/mineena ayabtaghoona AAindahumu alAAizzata fa-inna alAAizzata lillahi jameeAAan\n139. Yea, to those who take\n For friends Unbelievers\n Rather than Believers:\n Is it honour they seek\n Among them? Nay,\u2014\n All honour is with God.\n140. Waqad nazzala AAalaykum fee alkitabi an itha samiAAtum ayati Allahi yukfaru biha wayustahzao biha fala taqAAudoo maAAahum hatta yakhoodoo fee hadeethin ghayrihi innakum ithan mithluhum inna Allaha jamiAAu almunafiqeena waalkafireena fee jahannama jameeAAan\n140. Already has He sent you\n Word in the Book, that when\n Ye hear the Signs of God\n Held in defiance and ridicule,\n Ye are not to sit with them\n Unless they turn to a different\n Theme: if ye did, ye would be\n Like them. For God will\n Collect the Hypocrites and those\n Who defy Faith\u2014all in Hell;\u2014\n141. Allatheena yatarabbasoona bikum fa-in kana lakum fathun mina Allahi qaloo alam nakun maAAakum wa-in kana lilkafireena naseebun qaloo alam nastahwith AAalaykum wanamnaAAkum mina almu/mineena faAllahu yahkumu baynakum yawma alqiyamati walan yajAAala Allahu lilkafireena AAala almu/mineena sabeelan\n141. (These are) the ones who\n Wait and watch about you:\n If ye do gain\n A victory from God,\n They say: \"Were we not\n With you?\"\u2014but if\n The Unbelievers gain\n A success, they say\n (To them): \"Did we not\n Gain an advantage over you,\n And did we not guard\n You from the Believers?\"\n But God will judge\n Betwixt you on the Day\n Of Judgment. And never\n Will God grant\n To the Unbelievers\n A way (to Triumph)\n Over the Believers.","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra IV.: Nis\u0101a, or The Women.: Sect...","type":"page"}
